Welcome and we are happy you posted. That's why we are here. Neighbors helping Neighbors with reliable and accurate information to keep you and your families safe when Weather Worries come our way.MagtheWeatherAg wrote:So, I've been silently following this board for about a year now. I'm no weather expert by any means, but a weather nerd/lover through and through. I hesitated to post even now, but I felt the need. I am stuck overseas right now for work, far away from my family, friends, and home. This board has kept me informed and ahead of the game in quite a few instances, so that I could pass on crucial information to my family. I moved my parents in with me when I moved to Spring, and my dad just had his knee replaced on the 17th, so I have felt guilty and lost throughout this storm for not being there. So, all the blubbering aside, my deepest and sincerest thanks to all who post and share information, it means more than you could ever know.
I don't have cable service or internet it's out. Could you please provide cliff notes? Thank you so much.Rip76 wrote:Press Conference shortly about it.
Addicks is currently at the 108.73'. It is expected to crest at ~110'. Flooding is going around the northern edge of the reservoir and will continue to do that for the next several days. They do not expect an overflow of the actual levee.davidiowx wrote:Does anyone have an update on the addicks situation? I'm at memorial and Eldridge intersection and my place and vehicles are completely gone and the water keeps rising. Any update would be nice. Thank you.
If verified, you may have the misfortune of an all-time rainfall record. It's also close to the most dire model prediction of someone getting 60 inches. Hope you and everyone you know are safe.Baseballdude2915 wrote:55" here in Dickinson for the event. I live off Deats road and it was absolutely horrible. The road had 6 feet of water in spots. Unfortunately 8" of water made it into my house, however houses just two streets over on lower elevations had over 5 feet! The sight and sound of bay boats, jetskis, helicopters and airboats going down the road rescuing for the past 3 days will never leave me. Glad to be safe and totally dry now. However last nights rain has the roads impassable except by boat, so we are sitting tight until tonight for a few hours until we should be able to drive. Hope all the old .z forum members are safe as well!

Certainly not an exact track and intensity forecast that we should take as Gospel 10 days out, but it serves as a reminder that anytime we get a Tropical System cruising through the Caribbean, we need to get an eye on forecast trends over the next 5 days or so.
